Before you leave home, it's worth contacting the
Jamaica
Tourist Board(JTB),
which will send out brochures on the main tourist
attractions, schedules of events, accommodation listings
and a good road
map. Once in Jamaica, you can get the same information
from JTB desks at the Kingston
and Montego
Bay airports,
and JTB offices in the main towns.
Jamaica has no
entertainment listings magazine , so to find out what's
going on, you have to rely on the radio (particularly Irie FM),
newspapers, and flyers and
banners
posted up around the towns. The best road
map is Discover
Jamaica, distributed free by JTB offices abroad
and on the island.

You should decide
which area interests
you the most, then
go from there. I've
not yet been to Port
Antonio, but I know
it's a relatively
small, undeveloped
area...quite a drive
from the MoBay
airport, but not so
bad from Kingston.
Here's a few quick
tidbits on each area
to get you
started...Negril...a
bout 2 hours West of
Montego Bay...very
casual and
cool...great
nightlife and most
known for it's
beautiful sandy 7
mile beach...if
you're looking to
get off the resort
and party, this is
the spot.Montego
Bay...A great thing
about MoBay is that
you don't have to
drive far from the
airport. I
personally don't
care for MoBay as
it's more of a
"city"
feel...crowded and
congested, but there
are some great
beaches, lots of
shopping and good
party spots.Runaway
Bay Area...about 1.5
hours East of MoBay
on the North coast.
There are some nice
resorts here and a
few more scattered
along the North
coast. Until a few
years ago, Runaway
Bay was kind of a
sleepy fishing
village...starting
to take off, but
nowhere near the
development of
Negril, MoBay or
Ochee. Great if you
don't want to be in
town...if you want
to stay on the
resort save for a
few excursions.Ocho
Rios...(Ochee) is
about 2 hours East
of MoBay. This is
where a lot of
cruise ships dock
and it's a fairly
bustling tourist
town. There's a lot
to do in Ochee and a
lot of nice
resorts.Treasure
Beach, Black
River...South
Coast...More like
2.5-3 hours from
MoBay...A mostly
undeveloped area. If
you're looking for
a more genuine
Jamaica experience,
this might be the
ticket...much more
of a desert feel
than the lush North
coast. There are
only a couple large
resorts, but several
villas, botique
hotels, etc.
